SIGNALS FROM THE MASTER

Proverbs 4:11  ” I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.”

The scene: 1) House: represents the believers’ bodies. 2) Antenna: represents their minds and hearts (receivers). 3)  Roof– our covering from God. 4)  Rain gutters– to catch God’s Living Water (His Word).

The bodies of true believers of Jesus Christ house the Holy Spirit. He dwells within us. Our spiritual antenna, like the one on this house, must always be ready to receive and be available to receive the messages and guidance (signals) from our Lord.

Psalm 25:9 ” He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.”

It is through our spiritual antenna that the Holy Spirit gives us guidance and wisdom from above.

Psalm 46:10 ” Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will exalted in the earth.”

Proverbs 1:5 ” Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.”

                               CHANGED HEARTS

Matthew 13:15 ” For this people’s heart have become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I will hear them.

Jesus was speaking to the Jews. People change for the better when they accept and believe in the sacrifice Jesus made for them on the cross.

The Scene: 1) Believer’s hearts. 2) Thorns: Crown of Jesus

When their hearts have been pierced by the thorns of Jesus’ crown, only then will their attitudes change. Issues of the heart, the bad stuff (sin), is allowed to flow out of their hearts and then healing/ change can begin.

Matthew 13:16-17  “But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.  For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

Give God praise and glory for His goodness, mercy and love.  Amen.

                                     GROW!

1 Corinthians 3:6 ” I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

The Scene: 1) The Creator. God’s outstretched hand: represents His command “GROW!”

God allows, sometimes brings trouble into people’s lives so they will grow in maturity. For the Christian, it is so we will grow in spiritual maturity. For non-Christians, it is so they can come into the faith.

Hebrews 6:1 ” Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on into maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death and of faith in God,”

God wants people to grow in Him by trusting in Him, as we pass through the storms of our lives. Storms that show us God’s awesome power and makes us aware of who He is, through Christ Jesus our Savior.

Isaiah 43:2-3,5 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze ” For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; Do not be afraid , for I am with you;

We are called and have to do our part,”GROW!”

James 1:4 ” Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

When we put our hand into God’s hand He will make us grow! Read Psalm 121

FILLED WITH HIS LOVE

2 Corinthians 1:5  “For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.”

The Scene:  1) Clouds and mountains: representing God in his power and majesty, which brings the eternal rain (living water) into our lives. He is always with us.

2) Water flowing into the reservoir: from the mountains: represents the love of Jesus- “living water”, to the Christian believers.

3) The reservoir: represents the born- again believers’ bodies, Christ living in us. Colossians 1:27 “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

4) The berm: (dam) : holds back the living waters until the body is full (ready). Like the old saying, “What is down in the well comes up in the bucket!”

5) The Spillway: Stream flowing out of the reservoir- God’s love flowing out tthrough believers who are willing to receive God’s Word and do what it says.

Revelation 22:17 “The Spirit and the bride say,”Come!” And let him who hears say,”Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.”

Life eternal! Hallelujah!

A NEW DAY (HOPE)

1 Thessalonians 5:8 ” But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”

The Scene: Like standing on the bridge of a ship at sea, during the predawn watch, (0400-0800 hrs.) the rays of the sun shown across the sky:  new day coming, with all its expectations. The Holy Spirit said,” Like the new day, look to Me, with expectation of what I will do for you.”

Romans 13:12 ” The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.  So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Our days can be brighter and go far better, when we ask the Holy Spirit to go before us and lead the way, to guide our steps, give us wisdom from God and give us Godly discernment, in Jesus’ name.

TIMES OF TESTING

Genesis 22:1   Some time later God tested Abraham.”Here I am, he replied.” (Read Chapter 22) (V.2)  Then God said, ” Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will show you.”

As Christians we can all be sure that we will be tested by God.

Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Abraham knew God. He had walked with Him many times and had learned to trust him completely. Abraham knew, in his heart, that when told by God to sacrifice his only son, that God would provide a way, where there seemed to be  no way. God did provide a ram; this was a type and shadow of Jesus, God’s only Son, that was sacrificed for us.

Read Job Chapter 1:  Job was allowed by God to be tested to the max.  Job’s heart  remained strong for God; Job trusted Him.

THE FREE PRESS (GOD’S WORD)

The scene: 1) The Free Press:  God’s Word, the Gospel, “Good News”

God’s Word is free to those who will accept it.

2) Editor-in-Chief:  Jesus. “In the beginning was the Word.” (John 1:1)

3) The Paper of the Free:  “Represents God’s own elect-the Church”

4) Free born: Those who are born again. John 3:5 ” Jesus answered, ” I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.”

Jesus was free born because He was fathered by the Holy Spirit of the living God.  He was the only man to walk the earth without sin.  He remained free of sin.  This is the reason He could be the author of eternal life.  See Luke 1:35.

Isaiah 52:7  “How beautiful on the mountain are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

HEAL THEIR LAND

2 Chronicles 7:14 ” If my people who are called by my name  will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

The Scene: 1) The Christian church and the Jewish temple: Many people go to church or the synagogue that believe they are saved, and bound for heaven, but have not turned their lives over to Jesus, the Messiah and accepted Him as their Savior, and become born again.

2) The Treatment plant: Represents Jesus; When believers truly repent of their sin to Jesus, He is the only one who can cleanse them and make them pure and whole, allowing them to be born again.

3) Sewer lines: Represent the carrying away of the sins of repentant people, to the treatment plant.

4) Clean water lines: Clean water being discharged from the treatment plant (formerly the polluted sewer water). Clean water represents the Word of God, the Holy Bible, Living Water.

If God’s people will repent, Jesus will help them clean up their lives and they will be favored (healed). They must turn their lives over to Jesus, completely, as Savior and Lord of their entire lives.

Psalm 25: 2-3 ” in you I put my trust O my God, do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.”
